Review summary

Based on recent reviews

No. 26 By The Sea offers a unique experience with sea views out to Oban harbour, where guests enjoy watching ferries and boats. A highlight for many is the individually prepared breakfast, with a chef cooking dishes to order in an open kitchen. Upon arrival, guests commonly receive a welcome drink such as prosecco, and some have noted that lighting in some rooms could be improved. The rooms are well-equipped with tea and coffee facilities, and those in front even boast a terrace with firepits when weather permits.

a special stay

prosecco arrival fresh pastries really good breakfast

the prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch, and fresh pastries with juice were delivered each morning. the staff was very cute and accommodating to every request. breakfast was really good, with a variety of freshly prepared options available.

The overhead light in the lounge was rather bright. I think softer lighting would create a more relaxed evening atmosphere. it felt a little too harsh during the evening hours.

warm welcome complimentary glass tasteful decoration small room dingy room shabby furniture

The staff greeted us warmly and took our luggage to the room. A complimentary glass of fizz was a very nice touch. The accommodation was tastefully decorated, in keeping with the external period of the hotel. Breakfast had an array of choices cooked fresh.

The room felt small and somewhat dingy. The main light needed to be on, even during the day. It was hard to see into the cupboard with tea and coffee. The furniture seemed shabby, and I did not feel this was a luxury or boutique hotel.

The breakfast was cooked to order and used fresh, quality produce.

I was disappointed that our room felt small and dark. The main light needed to be on even during the day. A phone torch helped me see into the cupboard with tea and coffee. There was no comfortable seating available in the bedroom.
